Subject: after apt-get upgraded bash to 3.0, postfix-{pcre, ldap, pgsql, mysql} failed to configure

Package: postfix
Version: 2.1.4-2
Severity: important

In sid, after today's upgrade -- which includes bash 3.0 and postifx
packages -- config of postifx-{pcre,ldap,pgsql,mysql} fail with this:

all look to be bash-related.

We don't have bash 3.0, and I am SO GLAD

[Andreas Schultz (aschultz)]

Package: postfix
Version: 2.1.4-2
Followup-For: Bug #262127

The problem is caused by the variable substitution in line 4 of
postinst.functions. This line reads:

     mkmap=${2:=}

The := substitution is not allowed for positional paramters and is IMHO
not what is intended here anyway. If have solved the problem by replacing
the line with:

     mkmap=${2:-}

However, i suspect that the correct solution is something like:

     mkmap=${2:-/usr/bin/postmap}
